Maria Failla, the author of Growing Joy: The Plant Lover’s Guide to Cultivating Happiness, wasn’t always a plant lady: in fact, she was a self-proclaimed plant killer. But after some time, trust, and patience, she discovered that plants have a lot to teach us about growth, dormancy, and well-being – and she explores all that and more on her podcast, also called Growing Joy. She joined Leah in studio last year to dig into why our green friends are unexpected metaphors for meaningful life lessons. Follow Maria on LinkedIn Follow Leah and In The Arena on LinkedIn
